.csv data to sound

I am attempting to use data captured by a radio telescope in order to create a sonification of the data. The data currently lives in a .csv file. I am new to max, and would be grateful for a step by step resource for building a patch like this.

Not step-by-step since you might go in any order with the following, but surely that's going to be part of the journey:

  • study Max tutorials (the "math/message/etc." part of Max)

  • study MSP tutorials (to generate sounds)

  • specifically to import the data into Max, the [text] object can read a csv file. Then, one way is to spit the data from the [text] into a [coll], which will be easier to manipulate

Wonderful!
Thank you!
